Kylie Jenner is asking a Los Angeles judge to compel her former private chef to reveal her real name in public court records, in a case in which the chef alleges that grueling work conditions led to her miscarriage. The chef, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, sued Jenner, 29, her company and several other defendants, alleging pregnancy discrimination, harassment, retaliation and wrongful termination in filings dated June 22.

According to the lawsuit, the chef was subjected to lengthy shifts and physically demanding tasks that eventually led to a miscarriage in February 2025. Jenner's legal team has denied that the reality star employed the chef. In an October filing, Jenner's attorneys argued that the plaintiff has no automatic right to anonymity, that she did not file a motion to proceed unnamed, and that she had sought publicity by suing in court and making statements to the media, adding that she 'cannot have it both ways.'S2

Jenner's lawyers also argued that similar cases typically involve plaintiffs using their real names, noting that Jane Doe has already disclosed her first name in her filing, and suggested that protective orders and targeted redactions could protect her medical details. The plaintiff's attorney, Della Shaker, responded in a statement to Page Six that Jenner already knows the identity of Jane Doe and questioned what legitimate purpose publicly identifying her would serve.S2

The chef is among four former employees who have sued Jenner in the past seven months. The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for both Jenner and Jane Doe for comment.S2
